Story - Made To Be Together

October 13, 2011

Sequel to "Does She Know"

MADE TO BE TOGETHER

Wow! I can’t believe I’m engaged. Me and Trey had the best time on that cruise for the second go round. As I sit here looking out my window on the plane, just reliving all the events from our trip Trey lays here asleep on my shoulder. The tour is about to start so I won’t be seeing my baby for awhile. I can’t stop looking at my ring. It’s so beautiful. It’s a platinum Lucida cut 2.5 carat diamond ring. I remember going and showing it to my mom. She was so happy for me. She knew he wanted to marry me before I did. He wanted her blessing. I was so surprised he asked. I mean I know Trey is a gentlemen and all but for him to get my parents blessing first meant so much to me. That little sneak Aleen knew too. I couldn’t believe she was actually able to keep this a secret from me. I had no idea he was going to be on that boat with us, let alone give a marriage proposal. God I’m so glad he was. That’s a moment that I will never forget.

Once we landed in LA. I ended up going to Trey’s house. I figured I’d stay with him until he left for his tour. I rarely stay at his house without him. It’s so big. I use to get scared when I was alone, so I stopped staying here when he would be out of town. It was a six bedroom with seven and a half baths, very beautiful and spacious. We were beat from all that traveling. We didn’t even take our bags up to the room with us. We went upstairs, got undressed and laid in the bed. Trey was holding me and I was just about to drift off to sleep until his words broke it.

“Baby when you movin in wit me?”

Eyes closed half way sleep “I don’t know babe…yawns…can we talk about this in the morning?”

“What is there to talk about? You planning on movin in here right?” Now I’m starting to fully awake. I turn in his direction.

“Baby I wanna be where ever you are but Trey shouldn’t I wait until after the wedding to move in?”

“I can’t wait dat long. Do you know how good this feels right now? I wanna be able to come home knowin you gone be here.”

“I‘m scared to be in all this house when I‘m by myself.”

“What I gotta get you a pet or something to keep you company when I’m gone?”

“No…I just get nervous. Sometimes I would think I was hearing things. I couldn’t wait until you got here. Then I just got to the point where…you know…I would be home and you would end up coming to me.”

“Baby with all this security around here you still don‘t feel safe?”

“I don’t know Trey.”

“Maybe now with Evan and Marcus around that’ll help.”

“Trey they can’t be up all night and all day.”

“Why can’t they? They can take turns. That’s what they gettin paid for…to do whatever job I need them to do.”

“I just don’t want to be a burden on them.”

“Baby they are paid professionals. They have a job to do which is to protect you. People work at night all the time. They’ll be taking turns on the job protecting you on nights I’m not here.”

“You’re really ready for me to move in now….before the wedding?”

“I want dat ass here right now. I want full access around the clock.”

“Aw baby…kisses him…I guess I’ll be moving in then.” I snuggle back in his arms and we cuddle until we fall asleep.

Trey

(A) “Shade 45 it’s another Morning After with Angela Yee. We’ve been talking to Trey Songz he’s here in the studio. Now Trey before the commercial break we were talking about rumors. You know I have to ask to get the facts straight. There‘s talk about a wedding in your future?”

(T) “You heard dat?”

(A) “Yes. It’s even been said that Shanell you’re girlfriend has been spotted wearing an engagement ring.”

(T) “I guess if she’s been seen wit a ring then it just has to be true huh?”

(A) “Ok let me take another approach, did you buy Shanell an engagement ring?”

(T) “Ok all jokes aside I did ask Shanell to marry me.”

(A) “Aw that’s great Trey! Congratulations! So how’d you do it? Knowing you I’m sure it had to be all grand.”

(T) “I’ll just say that it was done in an intimate setting…she was surprised and um…she immediately said yes.”

(A) “Yeah ok…I’ll go with that for now, but you know this isn’t over. Anyway thank you again for coming on the show. Good luck with the tour and congratulations again on your engagement.”

(T) “You gone be able to catch a show?”

(A) “Oh I’ll be at one of them.”

(T) “Ok…dat’s what’s up.”

(A) “I want a wedding invite too.” plays around again

(T) “It’s time for me go.” gets out of chair

(A) “Shade 45 with Angela Yee we’ll be back. Ok now that we‘re off the air I‘m serious about a wedding invite. Don‘t try to run off.”

(T) “Nah I hear you. You know I’ma look out for you…gives hug…holla at me when you make a show.”

(A) “I will.”

Listener “OH NO THE HELL HE NOT!!! This nigga crazy if he think he’s getting married on my ass. How could he be ready for marriage. I can’t let this happen! I won’t let this happen! She’ll never have him not if I can do something about it.”

Shanell

“So what do you think?”

“I don’t know Shanell. I think you look fine. I mean I can understand you wanting to have plastic surgery for your special day and all but…I don’t feel it’s necessary.”

“Come on Aleen don’t you think Trey would be so surprised to see me and no scar?”

“I really don’t think it matters to Trey. You should know that. He’s been with you all this time and not once according to you has he ever asked you to change…in any way.”

“I know but I want to look beautiful for him for my own reasons. I want our wedding pictures to be stunning. I don’t want this scar on my face.”

“What if the surgery doesn’t turn out the way you think it will…then what?”

“Why wouldn’t it turn out right?”

“Because surgeons make mistakes…I’m just saying…it’s risky.”

“Thanks a lot Aleen.”

“What! You asked for my opinion so I’m giving it. I think you really need to think about this and look at not only the positives but the negatives. I also don’t think you should do this without discussing it with Trey…surprise or not he needs to know.”

“I’m not telling him. That’s not negotiable. I want to have this done as a surprise and by the way you’re responding to it I might as well had been talking to him because he’d probably be against it too.”

“You never know Shanell, but the only way to find out is to tell him. God forbid something goes wrong and he never even knew what you were doing.”

“Well that‘s why I‘m confiding in you. At least you’ll know what’s going on. I really believe it’s gonna all work out anyway. He’ll be on tour so I can have it done while he’s away and surprise him with my new look once he returns.”

“Well you know how I feel about all of this…but you do what ever you feel is necessary…I’ll still be here…”

“I think Trey just walked in…I’ll call you back.”

Since I was in the kitchen on the phone when Trey walked in I heard him and Buggzi talking. He didn‘t sound to happy either. I walked in there to see what was going on. He suddenly stops the conversation once he notices me. I walk over to him.

“Hey baby…is everything ok?”

“Yeah baby…kisses my lips…everything cool nothing you need to be concerned with.” I didn’t believe that for one minute. That conversation was too intense and when I looked at Buggzi you could see the tension all over his face. I had been waiting for them to get back since Trey wanted to go with me to my appointment to get my cast off. I saved my concern.

“Ok well are you ready?”

“Yeah I need to run upstairs real quick then I’ll be ready…I’ll be right back.” Trey went upstairs. Ok I felt like I held my piece long enough.

“Ok Buggzi what’s going on?”

“Nah you heard what he said…nothing you need to be worrying about…it’s business.”

“I know what he said but I don’t believe it not for one minute. I’ve also been around you long enough to know when you really have a problem with something.”

“We go through this all the time…it’s just the boss chewing me out about few things…that’s it.”

“You sure that’s all it is and it’s not anything that I should be concerned with?” Trey comes back down the steps.

“Ight you ready baby?” I stared at Buggzi as I went to grab my purse.

“Yeah I’m ready.” Part of me still didn’t believe his explanation but I had nothing else to go on so I figured I wouldn’t press the issue anymore. We arrived at the hospital and Trey came in the room with me. I was finally getting my cast off. Trey watched as the doctor cut it off. My leg looked so dry and skinny but I was so happy that it was off. I couldn’t wait to take a shower. Now I could have both legs getting wet again. The doctor asked me if I wanted the cast but I told him no he could toss it. The thought of that day alone was so engraved in my mind that it was reminder enough. Trey placed my shoe on my foot like I was Cinderella getting on her glass slipper. I thought it was so cute. It felt weird walking and my foot actually being in my shoe and out of the cast. I had to get use to this all over again. I still was skeptical about putting any pressure on that leg when I walked, but the doctor told me that’s a normal reaction and I’d be fine. I just had to get back in the swing of things again. He did tell me that I would have to do some physical therapy for a few weeks and gave me a script for where to go. Once that was done we were ready to go. On our way out of the hospital I couldn‘t believe who we bumped into…Nikki.

I mean Im getting paid to protect her. As long as she safe and nobody tryna cause her no harm I aint got nothing to do with what Shanell do wit her body.
So thats a no?
Nah I aint gonna say anything. I mean if she wants to surprise him then thats her right.
Wow! I thought you wouldve told.
Put it this way Im not gonna lie either. If he ask me where she at then Ima have to say something because hes trusting me to be wit her but I wont volunteer any information.
I guess I can live wit that.
So how you been? I aint seen you since we were in Atlanta whippen that girls ass like that.
laughs I only fight when I have to. That was a have to moment.
You should be a bodyguard.
No thank you. Not taking applications.
Girl you funny. So how long this gonna take? Do you know?
About an hour, hour and a half.
Oh ok. Thats not bad.
Ive gotten use to seeing her wit the scar its gonna feel weird looking at her again without it.
Yeah that is gonna be different. Well Ive only seen her wit it, aside from old photos.

3 hours later

Aleen decides to walk up to the desk to see whats going on. A different person was there.
Excuse me but do you know if Shanell Weiss is out of surgery?
Are you a relative?
Yes.
Hold on one minute. The nurse gets up and walks in the back. When she returns shes with a doctor.
Hi Im Dr. Shaw the one who performed the surgery on Shanell. I was able to get the procedure done but we believe Shanell is having a reaction to the anesthesia. Shes not responding and waking up as she should in recovery. Were actually about to have her transported to the hospital.
Oh my god!
This is really strange because usually if there was going to be any kind of reaction, it wouldve happened immediately and there were no known allergies. Ive never seen this happen before.
So shes not conscious?

They think Aleen is here to get a special procedure done and Im gonna be with her for support. I couldnt risk them telling Trey anything. We all went and got in the car so Marcus could drop us off at the medical center, at least thats what I thought was gonna happen.

Thanks Marcus but you dont have to stay. Ill call you when were ready to go.
Oh no! Im not leaving you here alone. I have orders to stay with you at all times.
But Im just gonna be sitting waiting for Aleen Ill be fine.
No Shanell. As long as youre here Im gonna be here too.
But you cant 
Why not?
Shanell you might as well tell him.
Tell me what?
Nothing! Lets go get you checked in Aleen.

I couldnt believe he was actually gonna wait here with us. Marcus came right in the office and had a seat. Aleens looking at me wondering what Im gonna do. I just had her walk up to the desk with me while I checked in. I softly gave my name and then they told me to have a seat.

Shanell what are you going to do once they call your name and not mine. Marcus will notice that you know.
Ill just go with the nurse instead of you. Ill have to explain it to him later.
No you wont. Hes gonna be sitting there questioning me.
Im sorry Aleen. I really didnt know he was going to be here. Can you just tell him whats going on then if he asks?
Do I have a choice?
I owe you. Im really sorry. We finally go have a seat and I wait for my name to be called.
Shanell Weiss. I get up. Marcus looks at me.
Where you going? I dont say anything and keep on walking.
Why she going wit her? I thought she was here for you?
Yeah thats what she wanted you to think.
Is something wrong?
Not to me its not. Shanell is getting plastic surgery on her face. She wants the scar covered up.
Trey know about this?
No he doesnt and she doesnt want him to either. She wants to surprise him.
Oh he gonna be surprised alright.
Are you going to say anything to him?

I decided to get on the phone and make some calls. I was trying to see about getting this plastic surgery done. Everything had to be mapped out very well. I had to be on the road to recovery by the time Trey returned. I noticed one of the tour dates was in Texas at the Toyota Center once I had a chance to really look at the schedule. That was perfect. I knew I could see him then, without it being a problem as far as scheduling my surgery. Its early enough where I could have the surgery done afterwards and still surprise him with it. I scheduled several consultations with different doctors so I could weigh my options. The next few weeks were going to be very busy for me.

*******

So Shanell will be having some surgery done huh. On a bed of roses your casket will lie. Cant wait for your surgery that day you will die hahaha Dont worry Trey Im here for you baby.

*******

Trey was so happy that I listened and did as he asked about letting him know when I was going to catch a show. I was surprised it meant so much but it worked out perfectly. I told him I would catch the show at the Toyota Center in Texas. That show was off the chain. Everybody was on fire. I loved seeing him perform. It was such a turn on. I went back to the hotel with Trey that night and we made love all night. I think him being around all those women compiled with the fact thats its been awhile for us had him extra horny. He wasnt the only one though. Not having sex until our wedding night was not going to work for us.Our hunger for one another was an insatiable one. One I never knew existed in me until I met him. Thats when I knew what real love from a man was.

*******

2 weeks later

Im a little nervous because today is the day that Im scheduled to have my surgery. My cousin Aleen is here. Marcus is about to take us to a plastic surgeon that I was referred to by Val. I didnt let him or Evan know what was going on.

El could have someone doing this to me because I had him locked up. Nikki could be behind it trying to get to me because of Trey. Shes still trying to sink her claws into him.
So if youre worried and you think thats the case then whats wrong with not using your car for a minute?
Nothing, but this is just my speculation. It seems like its more to it than me not using my car for now as a precaution. You guys have orders to stay with me at all times. Why?
Because of last time when you dipped on us and ended up shooting El cause he came after yo ass.
Ok but hes in jail now.
Yeah hes in jail and you still think he could be after you. Are you forgetting too who youre involved with? You need security especially now with you guys getting married.
Ive been seeing Trey for awhile now why would it matter if we got married looks puzzled theres something else going on here like its more of an underlined reason thats not being said I really just wish this never happened. It has me on edge now.
You are on edge. Im getting the third degree. Everythings gonna be fine. We gotchu covered alright? Now whats on the agenda for today?
I need to go meet with this wedding planner that I may be using, thats it.
What time is that for?
Not until 3:00 pm.
Well Ill be in the pool house if you need me smile girl its gonna be alright.
He pushes my chin up and then heads back out. Maybe I was worrying for nothing.

Marcus didnt end up coming back to the house at all that day. I couldnt even get in touch with him. I asked Evan if he heard from him and he told me something came up and Marcus needed him to fill in for the rest of the day and to tell me hed see me in the morning. I couldnt wait to see him in the morning either. He never even let me know anything about my car.

Then next morning by the time I got up it was almost noon. I looked out the window to see if maybe my car was in the driveway. It wasnt. Then I decided to go downstairs and check and see if it was in the garage. It was and my windshield was even replaced. I was so happy it was fixed. I got on the phone and called Marcus. I asked him to come over to the house. He came in the door off the kitchen. I was leaning against the cabinets.
Good morning.
Hey good morning damn near afternoon now. Whats up?
What happened to you yesterday?
Oh nah I had to go take care of something so I just asked Evan to cover for me. The car fixed though. Its in the garage.
Yeah I saw it. looks at him oddly
What? Whats wrong?
Marcus Im worried. I have a lot of concerns about yesterday.
This is what were gonna do. We have a car that were gonna take you out in. Your car has to stay put.
But why? If it was an accident then whats wrong with me driving my car?
Its just as a precaution for now. We dont need her making no more mistakes. I mean initially we werent taking your car anyway until you insisted on driving yourself.
You mean to tell me you actually believe that story that was given to you yesterday?
Why not believe it?
I swear it feels like you guys are hiding something from me and if you are Marcus Im going to find out.
Wherere we going today?
Youre changing the subject.
Ok so if you dont think thats what happened then what did? Why you think it happened?

I was glad to come across the tour dates that were scheduled but I really didnt look at them at that moment. I set it aside and got a little work done for a few hours. Before I knew it, it was three something. I realized Marcus wasnt back with my car yet. I also was getting hungry again. I got up and went in the kitchen to fix something to eat. My cell phone rang. It was Trey calling me back.

Hey babe.
What up! Im sorry I missed ya call earlier. I just wanted to check on you real quick, find out from you what happened.
They seem to think it was an accident. Somebody mistakenly damaged my car thinking it was someone elses.
You say that like you dont believe thats whats happened.
I dont know what to believe Trey. Apart of me wonders if someone was trying to come after me.
Baby why would you think that?
Trey why would you put dead roses on a girls car? I can see busting a windshield if your hurt, but dead roses on a girls car you think is cheating with your man? That doesnt make sense to me.
Man if I had a dollar for all the crazy things that people done did my pockets would really be fat. Maybe she was tryna scare the chick off.
I dont know Trey. This whole thing seems creepy. Maybe El could have somebody doing this. Who knows. Nikki could even be behind it for all I know. I dont put anything past her.
I think thats why this has you so paranoid, because of everything youve been through. Stop stressing. If they said it was a mistake then thats probably what it was.
I hope so.
Look, try not to worry about it. If stuff like that keeps happening then well have reason to believe its personal.
I guess youre right but babe Marcus still isnt here yet with my car. I wonder why?
Yeah hes gonna get it fixed?
How you know that without knowing exactly what happened?
I never said I didnt know what happened. I just asked you what happened because I wanted to hear it from you too.
Oh.

Oh Marcus what did Trey say? You also never gave me back my phone.
Here you go hands phone oh yeah call him back.
Come on Shanell lets go.
Ok.
I got in the car with Evan and called Trey back, but of course I would get his answering machine. I left him a message to call me.

*******

Aye man its Marcus.
Whatchu find out?
Man this aint good. Somebody definitely out to get Shanell.
Damn! I was hoping this was just some freak ass incident.
Yeah they had a note hidden in the roses that I snuck from Shanell so she wouldnt see it. It had this poem on it that said Roses are red but yours are black, marry Trey and youll die for a fact.
Did you call the police?
Yeah they wanna dust the car for prints. I also gave them the note. Once theyre done with the car Ima get the windshield fixed and then head to the house. Evan is with her now.
I see she just tried to call me. Ight man please protect my baby. I need to know that she gone be in good hands while Im gone.
Brutha I gotchu. Ill protect as if she was my own. Ive grown to care about her too. She family now.
Ight man. Anything else pop up let me know.
Will do.

*******

Once I got in the house I was so disturbed about my car I couldnt even think straight. Evan tried to tell me not to worry about it, since it was a mistake, but I just couldnt. It was hard to shake the feeling that it wasnt. I really couldnt wait to finish talking to Trey. I really needed him to call me back. He always seems to calm me and get me to look at the bright side of things. Now that I think about it Im wondering how come Trey didnt get back on the phone with me. Maybe he had to go. I decided to go in the office and get some work done since I was working from home until I officially went back to work. I had a few articles that I was in the middle of writing and I needed something to take my mind off of this mess.

Trey my windshield is busted and someone left some dead black roses on it.
Wheres Marcus?
Hes right here.
Lemme talk to him.
Yo!
Dont tell her whats going on. Do whatever you gotta do to convince her it wasnt directed at her and shes gonna be alright.
I got it.
Take care of that. Ima call you later to find out what happened. Tell her I had to go.
Alright.
There was a note with the roses but Marcus snuck it out of sight so Shanell wouldnt notice it.
frantically says Who would do this?
Maybe it was an accident. Go back inside and wait. Ima find out if anybody saw anything.

Shanell did what she was instructed and went inside while Marcus asked around outside to see if anyone would give him some information. He also called Evan to come and pick Shanell up so he could call the police once she was gone. Evan arrived and talked to Marcus real quick as he looked at the car. Then he went inside and got Shanell.
What are you doing here?
Im here to take you home.
Why? Im not leaving until I find out what happened to my car.
Shanell just come with me. Marcus is looking into it.
Im not leaving Evan.
Hold on stay right here. Evan walks outside again to tell Marcus what Shanell said. He comes inside.
Ok. I found out what happened. Apparently your car is the same model and color of this other girls car that some chick thought her man was cheating with. She saw your car, busted it up and got ghost when she found out she made a mistake. A few people saw what happened but none of them paid attention to the car she was in to get the license plate.

How do you know she thought it was someone elses car and not really looking for me?
They said she realized it when she saw ya chain with the red stiletto heel hanging from the mirror.
Oh great! Now I have to pay for a freakin windshield being busted and it wasnt even my fault.
Shanell just go home with Evan for now. Im gonna take care of the car.

I know how hard those sessions can be for you sometimes had to make sure you was alright.
Yeah Im ok. So how are things going with you?
Just getting settled in. Gotta head over to the Bank Atlantic Center pretty soon.
I wish I could be there.
Yeah well Ill be home before you know it.
You never know I might end up surprising you before then.
I dont think thats a good idea baby.
Why not?
Just trust me when I say that. If you decide to come to one of the shows just let me know ahead of time ok?
Why Trey?
Baby this aint my show. I dont know exactly whats gonna be going on all the time. I cant just have you here like dat.
Trey its not like Ill be in your way or anything.
Im not saying that. Look can you just let me know when youre coming whenever you do decide?
Trey why do I get this feeling that youre hiding something from me? Are you cheating?
Yeah Im cheatin thats why I spent all this money on a ring and asked you to marry me cause Im cheating on you.
Well then what is it?
I just dont want you to come see me and then I cant make no time for you.
Looks at windshield panics What is that? Oh my gosh!
Baby whats wrong!

Alright. Ill be back over in a minute.
Marcus.
Yeah.
Can I ask you something?
Whats up?
Do you have a girlfriend or someone that youre seeing?
Yeah how come?
Well how does that work for you being a man and you hardly get to see her?
I mean our situation is different because its not that serious. I can pretty much see who I want to right now.
Oh.
Stop worrying! Trey aint thinking about those other woman. He asked you to marry him right?
smiles I know. You probably would never believe this, but I didnt use to be this insecure. Even with Trey being as loved as he is.
Aye things happen that can make you feel not so sure all the time. Youre not dealing with an every day relationship. Its high profile. Its understandable, but dont sweat it.
Thanks Marcus. Im really glad youre here.
Me too I need the money laughs be back. I just shook my head at him and smiled.

I finished up with the kitchen and once Marcus came back we left for my appointment. I think today was a really good session with my counselor. She had me discuss my feelings about El and made me take a look at why I was holding on to all this hatred towards him. We had a real toxic history with one another but the key word was history. I keep letting the past affect my future. Even as painful as it may have been she let me know in order to complete the healing process I have to forgive him. That was a hard pill to swallow. Our time was up and I walked out of there with another layer of pain peeled away. Marcus was waiting for me in the waiting area.

You alright?
Yeah Im fine. Suddenly my phone rings. I see its Trey.
Hey babe.
How you doin baby? I figured Id call you once you were done with your session. Howd it go?
It went pretty good actually. You picked the perfect time to call me. I really needed to hear your voice right now. slowly starts walking out of the building to the car

I was just about to make me some good old cereal before you called.
Well now you can eat a nice cooked breakfast.
So how you doing today? You feelin alright?
Yeah Im good.
You miss him already dont you?
laughs Am I that pathetic Marcus?
Hell yeah!
I cant help it sits plate in front of him No matter how many times Trey goes away I never get use to it. grabs her plate and takes a seat
I think thats a good thing. Its when you stop caring that hes gone is when its a problem.
I know right.
So hows the leg? You seem to be moving around a little better.
You know I wasnt even thinking about it. Now that youve said something Ill probably be scared to put pressure on it again.
Oh my fault.
laughs Its ok Im just messing with you. It feels ok.
Man this is good. Its right on time too.
Ill probably be doing a lot of cooking being here now to occupy my time. I need some company. I get bored being here in all this house by myself.
Girl you better enjoy it. I bet its a lot of ladies that would love to have that problem. Where ya friends at? Invite them over.
Marcus I know you havent known me for a long time but I dont have a lot of girlfriends. I never have. I mostly deal with my family like my cousins, but theyre not here.
Yeah I did notice that. I just thought it was because you didnt want them around Trey.
laughs No. I dont mind being by myself its just being here by myself that I dont like.
Well you better get use to it if youre getting married. You gone be staying here right?
Yeah Trey wants me too. I wish his place was a bit smaller.
Maybe you guys can work somethin out maybe hell move into somethin smaller.
Oh no, Im not gonna ask him to do that. He actually needs this space. You know he has rooms for his brothers and his mom and grandma when they come to visit. Im sure Ill get use to it.
Well breakfast was good. What time you wanna head out?
We can leave right after I clean up the kitchen.

They assured him that theyd try their best to keep it under wraps but they thought for her own safety he should tell her so shes not blind sided. Trey heard their words but he was gonna handle it how he wanted to.

*******

The day had come for Trey to leave for the tour. I made sure I gave him a send off that would be forever embedding in his brain. I wanted to ride with him to the airport but he thought it was best if I didnt go. He told me because his flight was so early in the morning he wanted me to get some rest and hed call me once he landed in Florida. I kissed him goodbye and held on to him so tight not wanting to let him go, but reluctantly I did. I attempted to go back to sleep but I couldnt. I just laid there thinking about him being gone for the next month and how much I was going to miss him. Then I thought maybe Ill catch a show and surprise him, but then I decided against it. I have too much going on right now with physical therapy about to begin and counseling, plus with work, I probably couldnt. Not to mention now that hes gone I can really look into this plastic surgery and get the ball rolling on it. Who knows, if time permits I may go and surprise him depending on the tour dates, I have yet to see, but for now I think Ill wait till he gets back.

I ended up getting up after laying there for two more hours. It was now 7:30 am. I started getting dressed so I could be ready for my appointment with my counselor. It wasnt scheduled until 10:00 am but I figured I was up already so I might as well be dressed and ready. I would now be having Marcus with me during the day and Evan at night. They will be staying in the pool house. Once I had my shower which felt so good by the way, I got dressed and went down in the kitchen to make some breakfast. I called Marcus to see if he was hungry and wanted to join me. He said he was and hed be over in a few. I continued fixing breakfast and then Marcus comes in.

Trey is there something that youre not telling me again?
Why you keep asking that?
Because you have been preoccupied and I know its more than what youre letting on. Are you sure nothings wrong? Is it Nikki?
Look I told you already. Im gonna miss you and plus this tour is big for me. Ive always admired Jay-Z and to be opening for him is huge. I just wanna make sure I go out there and give them a show that theyll love and hopefully recognize why I deserved that spot.
Baby you will. Thats why you have it because you do deserve it. Jay-Z knows it too or else he wouldnt have even considered you. Youre so talented and Im so proud of you. Before you know it youll be headlining your own tour.
Thank you baby.
Youre welcome. I wish I could be there with you too, but thatll just make your homecoming that much sweeter.
pulls her close Mmm and I cant wait either you know we really gotta get it in before I go now that ya cast is off.
You think I was sending you off without reminding you of what you have at home?
I aint gone forget what I got at home. My heart wont let me.
Aw baby. kisses
Alright me and Buggzi gotta few things we need to handle before we take this trip so Ima see you later.
Ok.
Evans in the pool house. Ima let him know youre here.

Trey and Buggzi head out of the house and drive to the police station to show them the letters and photos that were taken. They all were photos of Trey and Shanell at different events, but every picture of Shanell had the head cut off with red writing written on her body saying R.I.P. The police wanted to know how long this has been going on and Trey told them every since his fans heard he was engaged. They wanted to know where they were being sent and Trey told them that it was coming from his fan mail. He made them aware that Shanell has no idea that this was happening and he wanted to keep it that way.

You two have been through so much, but through it all youve still remained true to one another and now about to be married. You think you were tested before youre really about to be tested now, but I believe you two have what it takes to make it. I hope and pray this baby is not yours as I said before, because Nikki has some psychological issues. Shes not stable to be a parent right now. Even if its not your baby. Suddenly Buggzi interrupts. Yo Trey somethin else showed up again. Trey puts his finger up for Buggzi to give him a minute.
Alright mumma I gotta go, but Ill keep you informed on the situation and I love you.
Ok Trey. I love you too. No matter what the outcome is were gonna work it out.
Thanks mumma.
Youre welcome baby. Trey goes downstairs in his office where Buggzi was.
What was it this time?
Another letter.
The same as before?
Im afraid so man how long you plan on waiting before you get the cops involved? You aint no got damn superhero.
rubs chin in thought Ight Damn! She out right now by herself.
Whatchu let her leave by herself for?
Nigga did you not just see the shit I just had to deal with? I was mad she was mad it slipped my mind at the time.
Call her. Trey was about to call Shanell, but she was coming in the house. He walks out of the office over to her as she came in.
Aye.
Hey.
Why you leave out like dat?
Because you were making me mad. I thought Id give you some space this time.
Im sorry baby kisses lips smiles I just been thinkin bout this tour and being away from you for so long.
side eyes Trey Yeah sure.
So whered you go?
I stopped by the condo and then came back here.
Well you know while Im gone Marcus and Evan has strict orders to stay with you at all times, so dont be tryna dip or any shit like dat.
What do you mean by strict orders Trey? You mean like before right?
Baby just dont be tryna go off with out them thats all Im sayin because this time it aint gone work.

See I have a problem with this. You dont know whos really doing their job. I mean if they can give you wrong information about her not being pregnant whos to say shes getting correct information about being pregnant.
Yeah true you do have a point man this whole thing wit her is BS. I thought I was through wit all this.
Well Trey dont let it bother you right now. You may just be through with it all. When does she go to the doctors again?
Mumma I dont even know. I barely wanted to talk to her let alone ask her any questions.
I guess it doesnt really matter anyway. The main thing to prove it is going to be a DNA test. Thats the only way to really know anything.
I dont wanna be thinking bout this shit I mean stuff until that can take place. Mumma I got so many other things on my plate that Im tryna handle sighs its too much.
Baby I know.
Then she talking bout the media knowing about me not claiming my own child. I would never do nothing like that.
Shes just trying to get you all worked up about it because she knows you dont want anything to do with her Trey. Just try not to worry about it for now. You have to go on this tour and you really need to put all your energy into that.
Yeah you right.
Whats Shanell doing? I know shes not ready for you to leave.
She left. She probably mad at me right now.
Why?
It wasnt bout nothing major, I just made her mad.
Whatd you do that for?
Cause she just wanted to know too much of something that was dealing with me and Alonzo and I didnt tell her.
Everything ok with you two?
Yeah it was just business like I told her, but she aint believe me.
Ok as long as thats all it was.
Yeah it was for the most part.
How she doing as far as this news Nikki just gave you guys?
Aw she was about to go off on Nikki. I had to pull her up out of there and just leave.
